Sneak Peek - Alpine A290 - The French Revelation
French hot hatchbacks have always come in at the top of the class. It's like they just can't get it wrong. But will this track record translate untarnished into the new electrified performance car world? Bryan is dispatched to a secret location in Paris to take a look at the rather tasty new Alpine A290, the latest new car from the reinvented sporting brand of France to see if the early signs are good enough.

Polestar 3 - Why 3 is Polestar's magic number.
Просмотров 12 тыс.14 дней назад
Since Polestar stood on its own two feet as a electric car company, the brand has really just relied on one car, the Polestar 2. But now things start to change, and so here we have the next pillar in the Swedish company's arsenal, the hotly-anticipated Polestar 3. It is, of course, a large, all-electric SUV, but done the Polestar way. How does it stack up to some pretty serious, and talented, c...
Audi SQ8 e-tron - Shame on you Audi…..

Audi's original e-tron was one of the very first EVs from Germany's Big Three. It combined what most people wanted back then, a premium badge, SUV styling and of course, the electrified drivetrain that made it stand apart. A couple of years later, the e-tron S was added as the sporting member of the family trading some range for performance. And with the updated Q8 e-tron arriving last year, it...

    Love the EV6 which is why I bought one. I do find myself wondering what I’ll buy next and the answer might just be the Gt version. It’s disappointing that the seat adjustment is manual. Excellent review, very comprehensive. Is the GT getting a facelift for 2025?

    I really like this EV. I hope Polestar gets some more sales traction in the United States because the companies product pipeline seems plump with winners. Pricing to borrow a cliche "is what it is" and unfortunately most buyers are simply priced out of the new EV SUV market currently. Thanks for the thorough (and thoroughly positive) review of P3! Nice to see.

    Have come to this review a bit late but interested as our 2020 e-208 is now 3.5 years old. Been brilliant so far. Fun and fast enough and plenty of gadgets (GT model). Interested in the updated version. This review was excellent and comprehensive. Hugely disappointing that after this length of time Peugeot have hardly improved it all. Battery just a tiny bit bigger, no frunk, no underfloor storage etc. And charging WAY MORE ££ for it. You are the only reviewer who has picked up on the 2-3" dead travel at the top brake pedal, and even this has not been improved !!

    I wish you could import this car to the United States because I would love to purchase one from you. I have always loved roadsters, having owned two MG-MIDGET'S and one Triumph Spitfire over 50 years ago. Of course, I purchased all three cars brand new. I am unable to build a kit car and love the fact that your cars are brand new builds from the ground up. Have you thought about doing MG-MIDGET's and MGB's from the ground up in electric versions?

    Certainly, as a value proposition the SQ8 misses the mark...badly. However the styling changes of the S-model and especially the 22-inch wheel upgrade with the "Black" package make for a much better looking Audi, to my eye. The gentle "refresh" isn't really much more than a warming up the leftovers and I think the significant price jump is dubious, perhaps, just following the market trends. The EV market is moving so fast perhaps the mid-cycle refreshes (and even the new model cycles) need to be shortened a bit across the board. Maybe more significant yearly changes are the future.

    Would love this but it’s still far more than I could afford it’s practically a years wage before tax. I still can’t justify a new car, especially with the cost of living having gone up significantly. I have more important things to pay for like a mortgage and food for my family. Most EV’s are still far too expensive at least the pricing is going in the right direction. Hopefully the prices will come down much further over the next few years and this will filter through to the used market. Glad it has rear wiper, but would love to have seen an option for 800v architecture for charging, at least it’s an improvement over the Niro’s charging speed. Anyway if I win the lottery or have some other good fortune I would love a car like this.

    Maybe you can convince KIA to address the random keyless door button issue. It's been a problem since at least 2017 across all models. It's driving me NUTS, yet the dealership will not admit to a seven year defect. I keep bringing it in and they blame me for not pushing hard enough or long enough as if I'd never had keyless entry in my life. This is supposedly a small issue, but it's really, really, frustrating and will cause me to look elsewhere if they continue to kick the can down the road.

    I have been running the Renault for the last year. I’ve done approximately 8000 miles in it. It’s going back today, I agree with most of what you said, certainly in terms of the build refinement and so on. However, if you were a 6 foot or more, this car isn’t for you. first, I cannot physically fit in the back. Especially if there is someone fairly large in the front. I didn’t realise how limited the back seat space is, it’s far less than the ID3 for example. In the front, if I have to move the seat forward which I inevitably do even if small people are in the back, my knees are jammed up against the, wireless charging pad which sticks out just the wrong height. I also find that I keep cracking my head on the door all the top of the door frame when I get in and out of the car. I’m totally blind which may not help this, however, I don’t have this problem on, other similar size cars. Hopefully we’ve solved the problems that we had, as we are getting an ionic five instead. I wouldn’t compare the two, as they’re totally different types of vehicle but… I do agree with you very much about the range, throughout the year we probably average around 210 miles.certainly nothing like what was advertised. Incidentally, we had exactly the same car as you did, both trim and colour. we didn’t bother to look at them again scenic,

    I am picking up my new ioniq five today. I chose the ultimate addition with the optional tech pack. It came in at just under £50,000. I bought the rear wheel drive model with the large battery. When you compare that to the genesis, to me there’s no argument, the ioniq five is much better value. We had a quick look at the Kia EB six, but we didn’t like the closed feeling of the cabin and that it was much lower to get in and out of. Sounds really boring I know, but as an older gentleman, with really dodgy knees, not to mention my wife’s back that was quite important.

    I have a Solterra and am impressed with its on and off road capabilities. I Prior to purchasing it I was aware of the range efficiency issue compared to others. However, when being critical of this you should mention that performance deficit is inevitable when designing a vehicle with higher ground clearance than the competition alongside permanent 4WD. In my view this tips the balance when attempting to make direct reasoned comparisons. Essentially I feel matching range and efficiency to be an unreasonable expectation when better ground clearance and off road ability were a key element in the design brief
